Yes, I'm ready for a bigger turbo. 53.+ lb/min at 7800 rpm (That flow is from my 11.86 @ 122.10 pass)

Nitto NT555 225/40/ZR18 tires.

Well as I'm sure some of you, including myself, were wondering why the car is not going faster than it is, especially since I lost mph from last week, read on..

I figured out today why I was having boost problems last night (not enough boost for those wondering, I was shooting for 32 psi.). I thought my car was slowing down due to my Profec-b screwing up and dropping the pressure. After looking at my datalogs from last night I noticed my W/B was reading richer than normal with no changes in settings. So today I made a boost leak checker with a pressure regulator and found not 1, but 4 boost leaks. The major one coming from my GReddy FMIC under the bumper. The upper pipe had pushed it's way completely loose from the clamp/coupler and was just sitting there in the end of the coupler. Under high pressure (25+ psi) air started rushing out of it. So I pulled the front bumper and got it fixed. The other smaller ones will require a little more work but are fixable.

So the moral of this story?

Those times I ran last night would have been better if it weren't for those leaks. So expect better times than this.
